| The RecSports Program will provide initial emergency care, such as the provision of bandages, ice, or immobilization, to any participant injured during a RecSports contest. |
- There are inherent risks associated with participating in RecSports. The RecSports Program DOES NOT carry health or accident insurance for the participants. A medical insurance program is required by BYU-IDAHO
for all students enrolled in school. This policy covers accidents that occur
during RecSports Programs as well as many other cases. Each participant
should check his or her personal coverage and be certain that his or her medical insurance is adequate and current before participating in any activity. All participating non-students are responsible to provide their own accidental/health insurance.
- It is the responsibility of every person participating in RecSports to ascertain whether they have any health conditions
that make it inadvisable to participate in that sport. The University and RecSports Program DO NOT assume that responsibility. Persons who are uncertain should consult their physician.
- The RecSports staff should be notified of ALL INJURIES sustained during RecSports competition. If needed, the participant will be given first aid and referred to
a physician and/or the Student Health Service. An ambulance may be
dispatched TO ASSESS AN INJURY (PARTICULARLY IN THE EVENT OF HEAD, NECK,
BACK OR MAJOR JOINT TRAUMA). THERE IS NO COST FOR INJURY ASSESSMENT BUT COST FOR AMBULANCE TREATMENT/TRANSPORTATION IS THE PARTICIPANT'S RESPONSIBILITY. An accident/injury report will be completed for all injuries.
- BYU-IDAHO Student Health Service is open weekdays and is available to students for treatment of most injuries. Student Health Service is located
in the
Student Health Center. Madison Memorial Hospital will treat injuries during hours in which
the Student Health Center is closed.
